Antique Dealer

Chapter 150

"My name is Fang Hao, and I'm here to meet relatives." Fang Hao briefly introduced the situation.

The young man suddenly realized: "So that's what happened. I heard that Auntie Han wanted to find relatives, but she couldn't do it due to various reasons. Now she can finally get her wish."

Fang Hao smiled: "May I ask your eldest brother's name?"

"Miangui's surname is An, Anjin."

An Jin introduced himself: "I came to the hospital today to take care of my second grandpa. He lives opposite Uncle Fang's house. Usually only the old couple live there. Both of them are not in good health, especially my second grandma, who is bedridden all the year round. Uncle Fang and the others usually take care of me, four days ago, my second grandfather fell down, if it wasn't for Uncle Fang's help, he might have missed the rescue time!"

Fang Hao asked casually: "His children live in other places, right?"

"No way, even if you live in another place, can you come and visit after four days?" An Jin seemed very resentful.

"bad relationship?"

"There is a notice of critical illness, even if the relationship is not good, you have to come and see it!"

An Jin was very angry, and unconsciously raised his voice a little bit, and after a while, he sighed: "However, my second grandfather is somewhat responsible."

Anjin’s second grandfather, An Ruiman, set foot in the collection after he retired. His wife was in poor health all the year round, and most of the one-month pension was spent on his wife’s medical expenses. A chance coincidence gave him the idea of ​​making money from antiques.

According to An Ruiman's original idea, it was to resell the acquired antiques at high prices to improve the family's financial situation.But the actual situation is that few of the antiques he bought have successfully changed hands, and most of them are fakes. The rest can earn as little as a dozen or 20 yuan, and some can earn hundreds of yuan.As a result, he was unable to make ends meet, and he had to often borrow money from relatives and friends.

However, the god of luck has also patronized him. The year before last, he accidentally missed a Qing Dynasty multicolored flower and bird bowl, which was spotted by a boss and bought for 8.2. The one time I earned the most, not only did I pay back the money I owed, but I also had more than 4 yuan left.

Because of this leak-picking experience, An Ruiman's original plan to die down was extinguished again. After that, he continued to buy all kinds of antiques, and he fell into the same situation as before, and he started to borrow money from friends again.

But when he borrowed money again and again, and he didn't know when to pay it back, his relatives and friends were unwilling to borrow it. Seeing that he had no money, An Ruiman actually went to borrow usury to buy antiques.

Until the beginning of this year, An Ruiman had already incurred a debt of 10,000+ yuan, so the creditors came to him and asked him to pay back the money. Seeing that he couldn't pay back, they asked him to sell the house to pay off the debt.

An Ruiman had no choice but to ask for help from a pair of sons and daughters. Because of some things in the early years, the relationship between them was very tense. The son did not talk to An Ruiman. After signing an agreement, they will own half of the house they live in in the future.

In desperation, An Ruiman signed the agreement and had it notarized, and his daughter also helped repay the debt.

As a result, An Ruiman's son heard about this and made another big fuss. At that time, An Ruiman said inappropriate words again, which offended his children again.

An Jin said that he was thirsty, so he opened the mineral water bottle and drank a few sips: "In the end, it's because my second grandfather has no money, and my cousin doesn't have a good reputation with his father-in-law. The money is generous, and I subsidize them from time to time. My cousin also likes to take advantage of petty advantages, and my second grandmother is sick all year round, so she has no choice but to come and go!"

Fang Hao sighed in his heart, the so-called raising children to guard against the old is not only to provide children with a good living environment, but also to teach children the ability to stand in society, but also to let children have good moral character, know how to respect the old and love the young, and repay their parents for their upbringing and the grace of teaching.Otherwise, it is better not to raise it.

At this moment, Zhao Shuo and Fang Zhengwei walked over.

"Xiao An, are you here?" Zhao Shuo greeted Anjin when he saw him, and then introduced to Fang Zhengwei: "This is the grandson of Brother An who lives across the street from us. He is a nice guy. .”

An Jin smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhao, this is Uncle Fang, right? Your family looks alike."

"Hello." Fang Zhengwei greeted with a smile.

Zhao Shuo introduced and asked, "Xiao An, how is your second grandfather doing now?"

"The doctor said that we will stay for a while." Anjin was a little irritable. The second grandfather couldn't do without people, and his cousin didn't care. In fact, his personality is relatively traditional, so he can't help but ignore it.

But never mind, he is the only son, his father left early, and his mother took care of the second grandma, so the second grandpa can't let his grandpa come and take care of him.And although he does a small business and has plenty of time, he still has to take care of the business!
In the final analysis, there is still no money. The old man refuses to hire a nurse.

Zhao Shuo knew the situation of An Ruiman's family, and also noticed Anjin's entanglement, and wanted to help but was powerless.

and many more!

When Zhao Shuo saw Fang Hao, he suddenly thought of something, but just about to speak, he hesitated, feeling embarrassed to bother Fang Hao.

Fang Hao noticed Zhao Shuo's expression: "Uncle, is there something wrong with you?"

"This..." Zhao Shuo felt pity when he thought of An Ruiman's family, and said, "That's what happened. Anjin's second grandfather usually collects antiques..."

An Jin said: "Uncle Zhao, I told Fang Hao about this, the collections of my second grandfather should be nothing serious!"

Zhao Shuo said: "You don't know that. In fact, he still has an item that can sell for more than 1 yuan. He told me that a boss wanted to buy it, but he didn't sell it. He said he wanted to keep it for two years. Let’s see if it can increase in value.”

"Ah, why didn't he mention this to me?" An Jin was a little speechless, almost out of medical bills, why did he still hide it!

Zhao Shuo said: "He told me that he was worried that if he left first, your second grandma would have no money for medical treatment."

Anjin was silent. Given the family situation of the second grandfather's house, what else could he say?

After a while, he said, "Since he doesn't want to sell it, then don't sell it."

Fang Hao said: "Why don't I go and have a look, maybe I can find something useful, even if it can only be sold for two or three hundred yuan."

"That's right, it's just too much trouble for you." Anjin was very grateful.

Fang Hao smiled and said: "No trouble, if I can meet something good, I would like to say thank you."

Since Anjin still needs to take care of An Ruiman in the west courtyard, he also said that he should not tell An Ruiman about this, so as not to think of sad things, which is not good for his recovery, and he will contact Fang Hao when he finds out.

The three of them came to the community where Zhao Shuo lived in a taxi.

This community has been around for some years. It was renovated last year and has a new look. The lush plants, winding stone paths, sculptures and fitness equipment make the community look like a small park.

Zhao Shuo told the father and son that they bought a new house a long time ago, but they didn't move out because they couldn't bear their old neighbors.

When you enter the community, you will naturally meet some old neighbors and acquaintances. Their reactions are exactly the same as An Dang. Zhao Shuo will introduce you from time to time. Fang Hao is his nephew Yunyun, which also turns everyone's fear into curiosity. I believe this matter will become a topic of discussion among the residents of the community after dinner.

The three of them first went to Zhao Shuo's house. The house was an old-fashioned three-bedroom house. It should have been renovated in recent years. The layout looked very warm. It was just a photo of Zhao Lei's death, which made the atmosphere in the house a little depressing.

Zhao Shuo made tea: "Little brother, drink some tea first, and I will take Fang Hao to Brother An's house."

Fang Zhengwei nodded with a smile: "Okay, you guys go to work."

Zhao Shuo took Fang Hao to the door of An Ruiman's house and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

An aunt in her 60s and [-]s came out and opened the door. It was Anjin's mother, Mei Xiaohui. She only saw Zhao Shuo: "Oh, old Zhao, what's the matter?"

"this is me……"

"Oh my god!" Mei Xiaohui screamed when she saw Fang Hao, and jumped back a long distance.

Zhao Shuo quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, this is my nephew, not Zhao Lei!"

Fang Hao also said: "Auntie, you see I am much thinner than Zhao Lei."

Mei Xiaohui took a closer look and found that there is indeed a difference, especially in terms of temperament, Fang Hao is much stronger than Zhao Lei, she patted her chest and said: "Oh, I was really scared to death just now, but you and Zhao Lei are so similar Oh, I don’t know, I thought it was my brother! By the way, why didn’t I hear you mention this nephew before?”

"This is the nephew of Zhao Lei's mother's family. I just met him."

"Oh, that's a happy event!"

After chatting for a few words, Mei Xiaohui learned the purpose of the two of them, and quickly invited them into the house. Even if she felt that Fang Hao was too young and his abilities were limited, she could not refuse their kindness.

The old lady sleeping in the bedroom heard voices outside and called out, "Xiaohui, who is it?"

Mei Xiaohui walked in: "Old Zhao at the opposite door, he brought his nephew over to see the antiques of the second uncle."

"What's so good about those rags? It's all the old man's fault. He bought some antiques in a good way. Now that he's here, he spent a lot of money and bought a bunch of rags!" The old lady complained as she spoke.

Mei Xiaohui said: "Maybe there are some valuables in it, if you can sell a little, it's a little bit."

The old lady sighed: "I'm not feeling well either, please help me thank Old Zhao."

"Okay, call me if you have something."

Mei Xiaohui came out of the bedroom and said in a low voice: "Since my second uncle entered the hospital, her arthritis has developed again, and now she can only lie down."

Zhao Shuo sighed silently. The old lady had to stay in bed all year round. It was hard to think about such a day. I only hoped that I would not have such a day in the future.

Mei Xiaohui opened the door next to the master bedroom, and a pungent smell came over her face: "All the antiques my second uncle bought are here, and the smell is a bit unpleasant, do you want to wear a mask before going in?" ?”
